With child-like zeal, wonder and amazement, I spent the first half of 2017 composing, recording and producing Poems Without Words, an album of eight new songs that effortlessly flowed to and through me. I visualize my band playing my music out in Nature: in a forest, by a brook, at sunrise/sunset, under the moon and stars, by a campfire...hence the occasional sounds of Nature. Perhaps the following short testimonial from my friend, Daniel F., a creative visionary who is very well known in the museum/art world, sums up best my album "Hi Gary,...Your newest album is absolutely brilliant… Pure genius. Instantly, I'm transported into a soulful consciousness and "centeredness". It is so powerful. I feel joy. Above all, I feel I'm in the presence of Mother Nature and God, and my loved ones all at the same time. And, I absolutely marvel over the genius of every note and sound that resonates with the deepest emotions inside me. Thank you for your gift and talent and sharing it with me. Your friend, Daniel"
